May Mother Daughter Breakfast!

Hero image

Join the Zonta Club of Brisbane Breakfast for our annual Mother Daughter breakfast on Friday the 4th of May, at the Brisbane Club. Tickets available at ZontaTickets.

This year our featured speaker will be Louise Fitzgerald-Baker of ‘The Pink Hard Hat’ – coach, author, mother, and all around accomplished woman.

Here’s a bit about Louise from her website, thepinkhardhat.com.au :

I’m a busy wife and mother of 3 daughters and built a career in the construction industry, before turning my attention back to training and coaching.
Like you, I have learned to juggle.
And dance.
And mostly keep it together.
But it hasn’t always been that way.  
As an entrepreneur, I have been tested.  
There were days when I didn’t have the answers, direction or experience to know which step to take next.   
So I set about making a plan from which to construct my life. 
I wanted to build the life I had always imagined. 
And yes, I built my home in the process.
I lovingly decorated it and created a place for us to live. 
But beyond that, I set about putting the necessary measures in place to ensure this home was protected, and that my daughters had their own blueprint for life, love, health and business. I have written a book on it, and now coach and train women all over the world to apply the same principles so that they, too, can build and insulate their lives.


So come along, bring your mother or your daughter – or even some special friends. We’d love to see you there!

Any proceeds raised from this event will go towards our worthy service projects in support of the vital work they do to assist and empower women in Brisbane.

February Breakfast

This month we had the pleasure of hearing from Amanda Dearden of Isis:

Amanda Dearden – Mental Health Accredited Social Worker and Co-ordinator at Isis – the eating issue centre talked to the club members about the free services provided to the community which are unique to the centre and tailored to meet the needs of their clients. The one on one counselling and group work doesn’t end when a person is in recovery, clients are encouraged to remain engaged with Isis which provides them with life-long support.

Amanda also talked out the Isis I love Me project which celebrates the diversity of humanity among school children and shared the positive results of this early intervention campaign.

Amanda has studied psychology and social work. She has been working in the fields of eating issues and sexual assault support and prevention since 2001 – providing counselling, group work and education. Her interests are in feminism and empowerment principles and the need to educate and raise the awareness of eating issues among the community; working towards prevention.

 

The Zonta Brisbane Breakfast Club supported Isis in late 2013 with funds to assist them with the relocation of their office to the existing site at Highgate Hill.

September Breakfast

At our most recent breakfast at the beginning of September, we hosted May Lamont – a brilliant speaker, and most admirable woman. May told us of the worthy work that is enabled partially through the support of many organisations including Zonta,  in Papua New Guinea particularly in regards to maternal health. This resonates with our club particularly due to our involvement with the Birthing Kit project.

We very much enjoyed hearing May speak, and look forward to hearing from her again in the future. For more information about the organisation in which May is involved, please visit: Soroptimist International

 

We were also happy to induct two new members to our board – Petrina Fraccaro and Colleen Miller. We would like to extend our thanks for their hard work!

July Breakfast

At our most recent meeting, we were fortunate enough to have Jessie Westaway, Senior Industrial Officer with Queensland Working Women’s Service (QWWS) speak to us about the important work that is done to support women in the workplace in matters of discrimination, bullying, unfair dismissal and many other issues.

We were also thrilled to be able to present a cheque to both of our service projects – Queensland Working Women’s Service, and Women’s Legal Service. Zonta Club of Brisbane Breakfast is proud to support such wonderful organisations who make such a big impact in the lives of women who desperately need their services.

Pictured below are Jessie Westaway, representing QWWS, Ayesha Murray our Vice President, and Natalie Davidson, representing WLS.
